#28062 [NEW]: gettext produces ? instead of german special chars

From: soletan at toxa dot de Operating system: SuSE Linux 7.2 PHP version: 4.3.6 PHP Bug Type: Gettext related Bug description: gettext produces ? instead of german special chars Description: ------------ Hi, I've upgraded from 4.3.5 to 4.3.6 immediately to keep as bug-free as possible. Now I detected some trouble using gettext. I use it to translate hardcoded english strings in script to be translated into german versions. The latter ones contain special characters which are part of ISO-8859-1. These have been displayed properly under 4.3.5. Now I get questions marks instead. It must be a problem up to PHP, since I can switch back to the previously installed 4.3.5 to get working again. Both versions are compiled using identical config.nice-scripts. I grepped the Changelog and didn't found any notice on gettext. So what's up with that?? I won't use that "safe" (bug-fixed) version 4.3.6, since many of the sites I'm hosting rely on gettext translation. Thanks for your help in advance, best regards.
